I am new the forum, and relatively new to ePubs. I've successfully generated a couple of them thanks to Anne-Marie and her video on Lynda.com but I have just been presented with an opportunity to work on another one, with possibly several more to follow. The challenge, at least to me, is the books require a column in the outside margin where small study notes will accompany each paragraph. These are simple books otherwise so setting them shouldn't be too hard, I'm just not sure what would be the best approach in InDesign.
I've considered an anchored object, but then does the CSS recognize and honor the positioning or do I have edit that?
A table? but there are about 100 pages, albeit short pages, that would have to be on continuous table.
I am looking for suggestions and options so that I can figure a quote to convert this book.
thanks all.
